expecting to hear from me.”
    Another pause. “No, I wasn’t. Are you okay?”
    “I’m great. Never better.” She stifled a hiccup and giggled.
    “You sound kind of strange.”
    “I’m fine. I need to tell you something and it can’t wait.” The phone slipped
out of her hand. She groped around for it, putting it back to her ear in time
to hear rustling on the other end of the line. “Are you in bed?”
    He chuckled. “Don’t sound so surprised. It’s after two a.m.”
    “Really?” When had it gotten so late? “Well, you’re up now.”
    At which point happy images bombarded her of Cain naked, in bed. Naked, and
up. Up being the operative word.
    She all but drooled. It was more than enough to send her down pleasant
bunny trails of lust-filled thoughts. Thoughts of his hard, naked length on top
of her, working his muscular thigh between her legs, his hard cock probing her
hot center.
    She shivered. “Want some company?”
    Stunned silence greeted her question and another giggle escaped her lips. Looks like she’d surprised him with that one.
    “Thea, are you drunk?”
    She grinned, feeling all sexy and saucy. And a wee bit naughty. “Maybe.
But just a little bit. Nothing to worry about.”
    “I beg to differ.”
    “Aw, come on, so I’m a little tipsy. Doesn’t change anything.”
    Cain sighed. “It changes everything.”
    Panic filtered through her pleasant buzz. It was crucial she let him know
how she felt, that she talk him into letting her come over. “No, it doesn’t. I
have to tell you. I still want you, Cain. I’ve never stopped wanting you. Never
stopped thinking about you.”
    She thought she heard him groan, and pounced. “I can be over there in two
minutes.” That is, if the world would stop wobbling a little bit.
    “Thea, you’re killing me here.”
    “No need to torture yourself. I’ve missed your hot body, the way you
taste. Missed feeling you deep inside me.”
    That time she was certain she heard a groan. “There’s nothing I want more
than to have you here with me right now, but you’re drunk. You’re going to
regret this call come morning.”
    She scowled, thoroughly annoyed he wasn’t cooperating. “No, I won’t. And
don’t tell me what I think.”
    Cain’s sigh of exasperation was unmistakable. “I’m not. Look, this isn’t
getting us anywhere. You need to sleep it off. But you’d better believe, if you
haven’t changed your mind by tomorrow, I’ll be all over you before you know
what happened.”
    Oh God, yes please. “But I don’t want to wait.” Okay, that sounded a wee bit
whiny.
    “God, Thea, neither do I. But I messed things up between us once, I’m not
going to do it again. Now go drink a tall glass of water, take a couple of
aspirin, and go to bed. We’ll talk tomorrow.”
    Frustration chewed at her. When had he turned into a buzzkill? “Damn it
all. Why do you have to be all noble now?”
    His deep throated groan made her insides melt. “Believe me, I’m asking
myself the same question. Good night, Thea.”
    Before she could respond, he hung up, the dial-tone letting her know
she’d lost her chance, bringing her down from her happy little high with a resounding
thud. She couldn’t believe it. The jackass hung up on her.
    She absorbed that for a moment and then awkwardly shrugged.
    Well, at least he’d stopped her from whining again.
    But damn it, when had Cain started taking the fun out of things?
He’d always been spontaneous and crazy? What the hell had happened to him? And
why the hell did it have to happen now?
    If she’d been standing she would have stomped her foot in frustration.
    Still grumbling, she bumbled her way up off the floor and staggered to
the kitchen for a drink of water, plotting all manner of mischief and mayhem on
Cain Marshall’s sorry ass the entire way.
    The next time she saw him, he’d be sorry, that’s for sure. She’d make
sure of it.
